    Harden has got to stop with the laziness. He's got to bring more energy consistently.

    Looks like our seasons will forever end with Harden isos and turnovers.

    That was an embarrassing performance by Harden. He should be ashamed of himself.

    Absolutely. This team is a fun regular season team with no killer instinct, lots of periods of completely moronic basketball, and on top of that, a superstar that stoops to the level of a D-League player in crunch time moments. Kawhi Leonard didn't even play in OT. Spurs close this one out in game 6. Rockets come out flat, Spurs go up 10 in 1st, up 11/12 at half, Rockets lose by +15.

    As much as I like Harden this is why he wont be my favorite player anytime soon. It's like he was throwing the game..

    Even Reggie noticed it..."what offense are they running? dribble, dribble, dribble then shoot a 30 footer?"

    There's really no reason to have a seven man rotation. That was problem number one.

    Harden got drunk and went down on one of the Spurs.. He had the throw the game or be revealed by footage... That's the only way to explain it. Disgusting Harden.

    Couldn't execute at all for the entire 4th quarter and then overtime so no surprise at the loss.

    Let's just be real; Harden played GREAT for most of the game, but in the 4th and into overtime he became a liability. Dribbling out the clock and taking last second long 3s, multiple turnovers, etc. All you needed was one of those six possessions he wasted.

    But it's not just on Harden of course. Gordon and Lou disappeared and them missing wide open 3s all night sinks the team.

    The fumble bumble routine in OT lost the game and perhaps the series. Harden with three unforced turnovers. And, you let a nobody like Simmons dominate you. Really disappointing.
